I’m about to buy the package tickets for Grand Warehouse and Hill of Youth. It says there is no entrance time for the Grand Warehouse, but it doesn’t specify if we can enter before the Hill of Youth ticket time.
Ideally, I would go to the Grand Warehouse at opening time 10am and go to Hill of Youth towards the end around 3-4pm.
Can anyone who visited with the package tickets confirm? Thanks!
Edit: It looks like it’s possible according to the fine print after tickets purchase (see below).
Are you buying from inside Japan? Because foreigners can’t buy tickets to either Hill of Youth or Dondoko Forest. If you’re buying off a third party website then there’s a chance you’re being ripped off or misled. There’s also time limitations for foreigners - at the moment we can’t buy the early morning tickets.
Hey! I bought the same package for May (so I can’t confirm yet) but my understanding from my research and reading the terms is that it’s anytime for Grand Warehouse and a set time for Hill of Youth. So yes you can do grand warehouse before.
Were you able to visit other parts of the park before your assigned ticket time? I was hoping to go to Mononoke Village first and then go to the Grand Warehouse at my assigned time
Adding for future people, but you actually can buy the package or the other locations’ tickets as a foreigner! You just have to opt for the physical ticket option (and navigate the Japanese site and use a Japanese vpn at checkout). It’ll provide you with a QR code you use at a Loppi machine at a Lawson once you’re in Japan.
I have friends who can help me with the tickets purchase. Hope it’ll be ok
That was my understanding too. Thanks!
How did that work out for you? I had the same plan but for the Mononoke Village
Mononoke Village was not open when I had visited in summer 2023. I had a combo ticket for Grand Warehouse with Hill of Youth. The assigned time was for the Grand Warehouse but I was able to visit Hill of Youth before the assigned time without having to scan the ticket. We just showed our tickets to the person at the Hill of Youth entrance.
Would you be able to share how to exactly do that? For some reason I cant seem to finish registration because it asks for my name in Kanji
As long as the person named on the tickets is going with you - I think it was in a YouTube video that I heard they won’t let groups in unless the person whose name was used to buy the tickets is present.
The impression I have from what I’ve read and heard is that the Grand Warehouse is basically a free for all, and then access to the other two areas is restricted. I may be completely wrong! Perhaps there are some Japanese language FAQs?
Unfortunatly… I never found out, there were Typhoon rains that shut down the bullet trains so I wasn’t able to make it to Nagoya from Tokyo. So I missed out on being able to go! My new advice would to be to go there the day before and spend the night lol
oh no! I’m so sorry you weren’t able to go. I hope you still had a great time on your trip
I did! It was just one day that went wrong, I’ll go back someday! I will say I was able to pick up my tickets just fine from Lawson so if I did go I think it all would had been smooth
